DeAndre Fuentes I'll tell you what I've done. Don't assume I'm white either, dolt.
I've been an activist for cannabis law reform for over 25 years. As you might know, the African-American community is exceptionally disproportionately attacked by drug laws and drug enforcement. Nixon created the modern War on Drugs specifically to fight the black community and the hippies who marched on Washington DC in October and November of 1969 and prevented him from using two 1.1 megaton thermonuclear weapons on North VietNam on November 1st, 1969 as part of "Operation Duck Hook". He wrote in his memoirs that he was afraid the protester would storm the White House.
Here's the admission from Nixon's Chief of Domestic Affairs, John Ehrlichman about the origin of the War on Drugs: harpers.org/archive/2016/04/legalize-it-all/
When I started there was no legal cannabis in america outside the dozen or so original patients of the Federal Compassionate I.N.D. program started under President Carter and discontinued under H.W.Bush. I've worked together with a massive number of like minded individuals and today we have medical cannabis in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, & Washington DC and we have legal recreational cannabis in Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, & Washington DC. That's a LOT of African-Americans who are no longer going to prison for weed.
I've also fed homeless African-Americans with Food Not Bombs as I was being threatened with arrest for distributing food without a permit.
What have YOU done for the African-American community? Hmmmmm?

***** It's really quite simple.... There have always been two major parties but not the same two major parties. According to your "logic", the republicans could not have replaced the Whigs because they would have split the vote and given victory to the democrats. Instead, Lincoln who was a former Whig was elected as a republican and the Whigs were committed to the dustbin of history. Which part of that is unclear to you? Their plan is to follow a tried and true, proven process which resulted in the birth of both of the main modern parties. It's history, it can't get more simple than that, can it? If you think it can, please elaborate.
And when someone makes an obviously false claim which is not only reputed but contradicted by ample evidence, and which also disregards the entire paradigm it exists within because they're in need of an 'alpha' figure rather than facts, I would say that person's brain isn't operating very well and that their mental development is retarded far behind that of the average person capable of using a computer. Once you can operate a browser you should be able to solve simple logic puzzles that would tell you not to say ignorant, nonsensical, demonstrably wrong things. Do you disagree?
